raising awareness in our community so anyone who wants to help them can.

Who They Are

Feet on the Street was started by Mags Drummond – a local East London woman who spends a lot of time helping ‘their guys’, as they call them, get to medical and services appointments (which can be hard, considering most homeless people don’t have watches or smartphones to tell the time).

Charlotte Hagan-Boyle, also East London born and bred (you gotta love East London) got on board about a year ago and they are the main organisers of the community group, going out in the evening to distribute the food they collect from other generous locals.

What They Do – Homeless Outreach Every Week

Every Tuesday and Thursday from about 7:30 pm, Charlotte and other volunteers run their route, with food, clothes, and other supplies, dropping things off, checking up on their guys.

They’re working towards renting a hall so they can host meals during the week too – that should be updated soon.

A Christmas Dinner is also in the works – so if you join their facebook page (see below) you can stay up to date with what they’re doing and what help they need.

During the day, Mags helps them to get to doctors appointments and benefits appointments as much as she can.

What You Can Do

Charlotte and Mags are always happy to have volunteers to help with outreach.

It doesn’t have to be weekly (I’m seeing if I can find once a month to go out and help).

They also need help collecting donations on ad hoc basis – people with transport are in short supply.

We will be taking in collections for them at our Leyton location (and Angel if it’s not too big for me to take home on the tube) – so you can check the list below and if you have any of those you’d like to get rid of you can bring them to us.

Donating Stuff

Here’s a list of things they regularly need (that you can drop off to us and we’ll get them to them)
